"It’s been nearly 20 years since 9/11. They’ve spent trillions upon trillions of dollars fighting the War on Terror. They’ve awarded extraordinary authorities to the government in the name of security. They’ve trampled all over the Constitution and individual liberty.
And they’ve made people participate in all sorts of pointless security rituals, like taking off your shoes at the airport.
Yet they STILL haven’t declared victory in the War on Terror.
After all, there will always be some evil new threat lurking, which the media will promptly use to terrify people and make us give up even more freedom.
Similarly, there will always be some evil new COVID strain or superbug.
And count on Big Media to be standing by ready to terrify viewers, while public health officials force idiotic rules upon us (like the 'wet sand good, dry sand bad' decree in Los Angeles from last year.)
Part of me thinks they’ll combine the two-- COVID and terrorism-- with stories of some startup terror cell deliberately infecting operatives with a new COVID strain and sending them on airplanes into the United States.
I cannot begin to imagine how Draconian the government reaction will be. Or that of ordinary citizens.
And this is another major similarity between COVID and the War on Terror.
Because in addition to the inherent endlessness of it all (i.e. the real 'Infinity War'), and the pointless, almost comically silly rituals, both COVID and WoT managed to dehumanize our civilization."

"Young people should not study history for final answers but to expand consciousness. History is (properly) about human life—about the conflict of human perspectives, experiences, and values. On all human experience there is always the possibility of a differing perspective. Even the 'facts' are often not as solid as they seem, having been selected out of a host of possibilities. Human life (and therefore history) is not a logical proposition, nor a source (chiefly) of entertainment, nor a mine of ideological precepts and pseudomoral judgments, nor a repository of accepted conclusions. It is a drama taking place in the mind of God, and only He knows the end. In a drama we look for a deeper meaning than 'the facts.' We look for understanding of the mystery of our existence. Since we are human, all that is human should interest us."
Clyde Wilson
"Scientists were never supposed to run our society. Scientific technocrats and the expert class cannot possibly possess all of the knowledge that they would need to effectively run the lives of 330 million Americans, but that will not stop them from trying. They might be Enlightened, but perhaps there is still an incorrigible, ornery remnant in the United States who will resist efforts to be managed, regulated, and perfected by the experts."
Gregory Gordon
"There is a saying that freedom is not free, and this is very true, but that has absolutely nothing to do with supporting those murderers for the state that kill innocents around the world in the false name of protecting freedom. Freedom is the duty and responsibility of each individual, and it has nothing to do with war; it has everything to do with protecting yourselves from the very state you now call your nation. The only risk to freedom lies within your own ruling class, and it is called government."
Gary D. Barnett
"So 'journalists' are stalking donors to Kyle Rittenhouse’s legal defense fund – including a paramedic who gave ten bucks. People are losing their jobs because a hacker got into the database and made the donors public.
It’s too bad that his GiveSendGo campaign maxed out and is complete, because I would like to find a way to publicly donate. Everyone has the right to legal defense. This new brand of totalitarianism is loathsome and needs to be publicly challenged. This new breed of thug 'journalists' are nothing more than Rolfs from 'The Sound of Music' acting as Neo-Nazi Brownshirts to thwart the principles of liberty and justice.
Maybe someone will start up a new fund.
Cancel culture is cancer."

"I continue to ask: wasn’t Mengele enough? Why do serfs allow their governments to intrude into medicine? Yes, governments promise to pay your doctor for you. But as politicians and bureaucrats often kill you in the process, is it worth it?"

"Mass migration without assimilation of people from Central and South America into the U.S will lead to disaster. These migrants are coming from predominantly socialist countries that have failed systems (that's why these people are leaving and coming to the U.S.). But illegals tend to bring their socialist politics with them, and they seek out state and federal government handouts without ever applying for citizenship.
This is why we have borders in the first place... to protect our society from intrusion and co-option by another society or group of people with incompatible values. Despite what leftists and some fake libertarians might claim, without borders, freedom dies."
Brandon Smith
"CO2 is the fundamental, essential, indispensable, crucial, all important substance for Life. Without CO2 there would be no life. Planet Earth would be a dead planet. Everybody with just a minuscule education knows this. Every scientist, whom we must assume has more than a minuscule education, knows this. It’s a fact if ever a fact there was.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has declared CO2 a 'pollutant.' Ditto the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC). Scads of politicians, lobbyists, Big Media morons, and general idiots are bugged out of their minds about CO2. They want to eliminate it, despite the FACT that life depends utterly on CO2. How’s that for crazy? It’s worse than crazy, however. It’s deadly stupid. These ignorant savages want to eliminate Life Itself. That’s ABSOLUTE EVIL with all caps."

"We are oppressed by government and most people are unaware of it because they themselves have assumed government morality from childhood as outlined above. It is impossible to change what you believe in your heart. If you are taught that democracy means freedom of political choices, you never question it, and the facade of politics serves for reality. Any challenge to this paradigm is written off as nuttery or conspiracy.
The political process is a merry-go-round of phony politicians and platforms that can guarantee only one thing to the person; that is, eternal diversion, deception and exhaustion."
Bob Livingston
"The number of teenage suicides has skyrocketed. I have spoken to fathers who moved to Florida because their boys were suicidal under lockdowns as their dreams were all about sports. Now a father in Illinois has come out against the lockdowns after his son committed suicide and was dreaming of a sports career. Fauci, who is a disgrace to the United States, refuses to yield and refuses to be specific about when people will get their liberty back. He is ignoring the psychological impact of people losing everything and the rise in suicides and violence. All of this is because of Fauci’s recommendations, which NEVER in the history of society has any doctor EVER advocated shutting down the economy and society.
The journalists have blood on their hands because they REFUSE to report the truth and continue to push this nonsense that is all for climate change — not health. We have doctors warning that these vaccines may have serious implications going forward, from making people more susceptible to diseases to others claiming it will reduce fertility. The problem we have is the press calls this all a conspiracy theory but fails to point out that all the health organizations have been compromised, and politicians now cannot admit they made a mistake."
